Plot Summary:
Naota is a normal Japanese 6th grade boy (although a little cynical), but when his older brother leaves for America to play baseball, his brother leaves his homeless 17 year old girlfriend Mamimi behind. Mamimi is sending mixed signals and advances to Naota, and he doesn't know what to do about her. But to make matters worse, Naota's world is totally turned upside down when he is run over by a woman on a Vespa. During their first encounter, she hits him over the head with her guitar, which then causes a horn to grow out of his forehead. She calls herself "Haruko" and her presence changes Naota's life to even further insanity.

The renewed focus on the central trio of characters and their drastically altered relationship goes a long way towards providing a surprisingly meaty end to a deeply flawed series.
It may be so grossly overpriced that it only warrants a rental, but this short movie tells a worthy story in classic kid-
Despite revolving around a young girl, the people most likely to enjoy Yotsuba&! are adults, those who need a little reminder, one that the manga itself puts best when it ends with the simple words "enjoy everything."
